Boy, that was a great comeback victory especially after we kind of gave it to them in the (sixth) inning with those two runs.
Besides, ... I knew his family had come down to see him, and I wanted to get him in the game.
Be more specific of who you are talking about. Yeah, I talked to Walk. We got it straight.
First I have to see him out of the bullpen. I do know Ryan Dempster is my closer.
Every time I think about giving him an off-day, he hits two or three home runs. Maybe I'll start thinking about that off-day. You don't want to give him time off against the Cardinals.
Every time I think about giving him a day off, he hits two home runs. Maybe I'll start thinking about that off day for him.
Big Z had trouble feeling the ball. He couldn't feel it in his fingers. We were hoping to get five innings out of Z and then go to the bullpen.
Big weekend for Sean, Jerome and Glendon. We have to get some guys going and preserve our bullpen. The better our starters can be, the better for all of us.
Everybody talks about small ball, but you have to have the personnel to play small ball.
Everybody talks about a fresh start, but it seems like whatever reputation you have follows you to the next job, the next place, which really isn't a fresh start. I certainly don't condone the things that have happened and transpired in the past but everybody deserves a fresh start.
Baseball's not separate from the world. (Racism) is real. Nobody wants to talk about it. You don't hear guys talk in depth too much, especially minority guys, because you get accused of playing the race card.
At this point, it's hard to imagine him not pitching forever.
We all feel responsible. Sometimes the players have to take some of the responsibility, too. It's the responsibility of all of us, coaches, players, everybody.
We all turn in a roster and see how it matches up.
